Under Ranking Criteria how does the Workflow State function?

The workflow state dictates at which point in applicant review the question/criteria is posed to the Search Committee. For example, if you added a question like “Would you recommend the applicant for on site interview?” and chose Under Review by Search Committee as the workflow state, the Search Committee will need to answer this question when the application is at that workflow state. It allows you to define appropriate questions based on where the applicant is in workflow.

Why would we use Ranking Criteria vs. Supplemental Questions?

Ranking criteria is used by search committee members during the applicant review process and not presented to the applicant. Supplemental questions are answered by the applicant and used to help gather additional information or screen for minimum qualifications during the application process.

If I have a Temporary Position with Multiple Hires into the same position do I have to post each hire separately?

No. Postings can have multiple Hiring Proposals so there is no need to have multiple postings.

Applicant FAQs-Will the use of this system improve communications to the applicant?

Yes. Upon completion of an application and submitting it for consideration, the system will provide a unique confirmation number to the applicant acknowledging the receipt of the application. Later in the process, applicants will be notified by email of the status of their application by way of the system through updates by the Department of Human Resources. Applicants who are not successful will receive an email advising them of this fact and thanking them for their interest in opportunities at Valdosta State University. Communications with finalists in job searches will be made to schedule interviews in much the same way as currently done.

Who will be expected to fill out these electronic forms?

How will applicants submit an application if they want to be considered for a position?
